This repo contains a pure Go implementation of the command line git client that I've been working on so that I can try doing some of my Go development on Plan 9.

It's primary purpose is to enable users of operating systems where Go is supported but the canonical git implementation isn't (ie. Plan 9) to use git.

IT IS NOWHERE NEAR READY.

The main goal is to enable go get to work by doing a real checkout and without any hacks such as downloading a .zip from GitHub and pretending it's a checkout. (This should be done, and any breakages with go get if you rename the binary from go-git to git and put it on your path should be reported as an issue.)

The secondary goal is to enable just enough of the git command line to allow simple development (ie. simple usages of git add/commit/push/status/diff/log.)

The third, stretch goal, is to have a complete command-line compatible implementation of git that can be used as a drop-in replacement for git.
